What are PIDav.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library PIDav.dll Errors

PIDav.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like PIDav.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like OneDriveSetup.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Photo Story 3 for Windows) could share the same PIDav.dll file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.

Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared DLL file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when PIDav.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Photo Story 3 for Windows is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common PIDav.dll errors include:

Your PIDav.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Photo Story 3 for Windows), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, PIDav.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Photo Story 3 for Windows, system crash while loading PIDav.dll, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Download PIDav.dll Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying PIDav.dll to your appropriate Windows system directory. Microsoft typically does not release Photo Story 3 for Windows DLL files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing PIDav.dll and all other DLL files for Photo Story 3 for Windows. An incorrectly installed DLL file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
